RS PRO Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor M8 x 1 Thread Size PNP Output 30V DC 200mA 2mm Detection 32mm Length 206-6134

RS PRO 206-6134 Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor is a stainless steel sensor with M8 x 1 thread size and 32mm length. It is designed for flush mounting and detects plastic and metallic targets within a precise 2mm sensing range. Operating from a 10V to 30V DC supply, this sensor delivers a PNP normally open output via a 3-wire cable arrangement capable of handling 200mA switching current.

Its robust IP68 and IP69K protection ratings make it suitable for environments requiring high resistance against water ingress, washdowns, and pressurized cleaning procedures. The sensor operates effectively under extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 100°C, making it ideal for hot industrial zones.

With a switching frequency of up to 4kHz, the sensor accommodates fast and repeatable switching signals essential for automation and control gear applications. The shielded flush design prevents stray activation in confined installations while enhancing detection accuracy.

This product includes integral protection against wiring errors such as reverse polarity, short circuits, and power-up pulses, improving durability and reducing failure rates. The housing made of stainless steel (AISI 303) and sensing face constructed from durable plastic (LCP) combine mechanical strength with stable sensor performance.

It withstands harsh mechanical stress, including 100g/11ms shock pulses and prolonged vibration endurance up to one million cycles. The 2-meter PUR-insulated cable ensures direct connection compatibility with PLCs and control inputs, simplifying installation.
